Everyone had nothing but wonderful things to say about the venue and were incredibly impressed that this asset is here in the Northern Manhattan community. I sincerely hope we can keep working together for future events. I'm attaching a copy of our program, in which you are singled out in our special thanks section. We couldn't have done it without you. Take care and I hope to see you around the neighborhood soon. Best, Aaron Hi Gentlemen, I just wanted to thank you for hosting us on Friday. You were overly generous and so helpful and accommodating. It really made for a great day! And we won the game which helps! Hopefully we can keep this relationship going for future games. If there's anything you ever need on my end, please don't hesitate to call. Thank you again, Chris Page 3
